base talk Was Joanne ahead of its time?

[saintspice]

i actually don’t mind joanne but it was not ahead of its time, it sounds very 2016-2017

[UnanimousBB16]

There are some bops, but it is not ahead of its time.

[Haschwalth]

honestly yeah it's kinda funny

[Escape]

[Marry The Gods]

I like the album but it was only ahead of its time for pop girls like kesha and miley cyrus. most of the songs on joanne aren't even country 

[ImpressMeMuch]

This thread bothered me but then I went to twitter and saw swifties claiming beyonce was copying folklore

This. Her inner theater kid always comes out and makes everything feel like "Here I am doing a bit!"

Two of her worst songs

 

Sinners Prayer, Come To Mama and Angel Down >>>>>

 

Dancing in circles and Sinners prayer are top notch, what are you on about?

[dawnettakins]

Yes, everyone is suddenly having or already had their country moment after Joanne released, she remains ahead of the time and above everyone.

No. It was just another album by Lady Gaga. She should’ve released Chromatica in 2016 instead. 

Joanne is better than Chromatica. Dance pop fans would not understand.

No. Madonna did the country thing as a MPG way before any other pop girl. Be real

Tina Turner did it before her, be real

[secretgarden]

It's just screaming with (I think you meant) John Wayne. DIC is fine but JW is a no. Especially the instrumental. It's just not giving that White Stripes/Franz Ferdinand serve she thought she was. 

 

So I'll give you DIC.

Not some users arguing for authenticity.

No, you can say "ahead of its time" for like 3-4 years, not a whole decade  

Huh? Who said this? You just pulled this out of your ass!

It definitely has country and folk influences. Dua Lipa’s lead is produced by Kevin Parker and Beyoncé is releasing a country album after a house inspired album. I smell impact. 

[AllyGayTor]

I don't understand the "Hey Girl" hate. It sounds like a timeless classic to me 

 

OT: Gaga mastered the Country/Rock genre, more with ASIB than Joanne. And "Sinners Prayer" is one of her best works.

[Dante]

shes always inspiring the girls

[truthteller]

there's always a way for the Monsters to join a conversation even there's been no new music since 2020

Joanne was an underwhelming attempt at “Country”(?) mixed with Elton John, mixed with EDM with “Perfect Illusion.” It just wasn’t a good conceptual album. Sorry, you wouldn’t understand. 

[Karla Cabello]

gaga is never ahead of anything. quite the opposite actually

[ohwow]

in the sense that it was "pop star does country theatre cosplay performance by referring to cliches associated with country music/life"... maybe?

 

the problem when pop stars try to do the whole "reinvention" thing is that it feels inauthentic and cringe when they go too far in their "reinvention" performance

 

music by madonna worked because it clearly wasn't trying to be a country album, it just borrowed the aesthetic and had like 2 songs that had country motifs, most notably "dont tell me"

 

the best songs on joanne are the least cosplay ones: joanne, million reasons, and hey girl (even tho it gets a lot of hate for some reason, the song is actually good)
